My family spent a lot of time making memories. Most of them revolve around food. Some of my earliest childhood memories are connected to pot pies. While those were the frozen TV dinner variety, they were something I looked forward to after school on cold, rainy...
In earlier posts, I’ve shown you how to break down a whole beef brisket and a whole pork loin and turn them into a lot of different meals. Today we’re going to take on another big chunk of meat, the picnic ham. Don’t Let the Name Fool You:...

I love cooking historic recipes. Whether it’s traditional Irish soda bread from the 1800’s, or Chicken Pilaf with Cilantro circa 1930’s America. Old recipes fascinate me. This recipe for poached whitefish is an adaptation of a 1670’s recipe...
Namasu is something of a mystical dish. This simple salad of daikon radish and carrots is as simple to make as the similar tsukemono (overnight pickles), but is ready in just about 15 minutes. Namasu has a tangy-sweet flavor and incredible crisp texture that makes it...
There’s no denying that macaroni salad is one of the definitive kings of the summer cookout. It goes perfectly with steak, grilled chicken, and is the perfect foil for anything slathered in barbecue sauce. The kids love it, the adults expect it to be around...

There are certain recipes you know you just have to try the very first time you hear of them. You know the ones, don’t you? It’s that certain something that sticks in your memory once you’ve seen or heard of it. It won’t leave you alone...
My family loves rice. And I mean loves it. My son’s favorite dish is something we call “Rice and Goop”, which is basically rice covered in sausage or beef gravy. For me, it’s fried rice or spam musubi. My wife will take rice in just about any...
There’s no denying that green beer is an American St. Patrick’s Day tradition. And though it’s origins are shrouded in mystery, almost every bar serves up a version of this iconic drink on March 17th. But there’s no reason that you can’t...
Sausage dressing is a staple at Southern tables, and not just around the holidays. I’ve used this recipe (or variations of it) to stuff Turkey, chicken, cornish hens, pork chops, and bell peppers. It goes with almost anything. It’s simple to make, and can...
Everyone has their go-to Chinese takeout favorite. For my wife, it’s cashew chicken. For my son, lemon chicken with fried rice and plenty of soy sauce does the trick. But for me, it’s broccoli beef every time. I’ve got to have it. But I’ve...
Rice. It’s an unassuming grain that also just happens to be the staple food of nations all over the world. It’s speculated that rice may have been cultivated in Japan for as long as 6,000 years. Rice was never a big thing for me growing up. I’m a...
A few weeks ago I was flittering around Pinterest and I stumbled on a pin for sausage balls. If you can believe this, I’d never heard of them. Not once. Ever. I showed the picture to my wife, who has heard of these little gems. She immediately launched into...

This is definitely a case of cooking by the seat of my pants. I was thinking about flavor combinations the other day while snacking on leftover pork roast with caramelized apples when before I knew it, I was making pork & apple empanadas. I don’t know of...
